Our 6280 came with 4.50, so it's probably time to upgrade our M/2000 and M/120's. However: 1) trying to make a kernel for an M/120 results in 'is_digi' undefined if the c8 driver is not included (referenced in kernel.o); 2) is there any documentation on the vfs interface? We have our own network filesystem which we'd added in the past to the filesystem switch and would like to add it into the new system also. Any help appreciated.

VFS is very similar to the construct of the same name in SunOS 4.0, and thus has a very strong family resemblance to VFS in SVR4. MIPS does not document VFS or most other internal kernel interfaces, since we do not support them (in that we do not promise to keep them upward compatible across major releases). On the other hand, VFS is likely to stay around for a while, with at most relatively minor changes to the interface. -- William J.
